Hawken is a newly released, free-to-play MMOFPS game that thrusts players into a war torn world as they fight to the death on the battlefield of a dystopian world. This is not your typical free MMOFPS game. Instead of running around as a humanoid character, you're instead given control of your very own, customizable, mechanized war machine, a machine capable of levels of destruction that would impress even the biggest of army tech geeks. Experience fast-paced combat, strategic depth, incredible alien-like landscapes, upgradeable mechs and much, much more in the critically acclaimed Hawken.
Players can choose to control their own mech unit from 3 different variations; light, medium and heavy. Each different mech type has obvious strengths and weakness. The light rated mechs are much more agile and can pounce around the battlefield at incredible speeds. The heavy on the other hand, is cumbersome but has extremely powerful weaponry and strong armor ratings. The medium mechs are a careful balance of the two. These 3 different mech types gives players the opportunity to create a mech that follows their own unique playstyle, rather than feeling like they're forced to play a single type due to poor balance.
Pilots can further customize their mech from a multitude of powerful weapon combinations. Every individual item that you can equip has its own set of distinct characteristics. Unlike other games the weapons in Hawken don't require ammo, instead they overheat. So players will have to carefully time and place their shots unless they want to be left too hot to handle. Every weapon offers different possibilities on the battlefield, such as increased range or power. These effects also increase over time as players earn experience points and unlock better upgrades for their choice of mech fighter.
